We interview Frode Greisen and Sean Doran of Ebone. The interview traces the development of Ebone as the first major builder of IP infrastructure in Europe. It describes the development of Ebone's relationship with Hermes Europe Railtel and the acquisition of both (completed in May 1999) by GTS (Global TeleSystems). GTS is currently the largest carriers' carrier in Europe. It leases access to dark fiber using DWDM technologies where customers can buy a single wavelength of light and is the only carrier in Europe to be offering international DWDM links to customers. It also sells IRUs to fiber strands and optional SONET support. Because it can manage inter city and international fiber links at the lower levels of the protocol stack, it can offer customers a level of coordinated reliability that was difficult to achieve when responsibility for management of international lines terminated at the borders of each national PTT. They have been running operational OC48 (2.5 gigabits per second) between Brussels, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Geneva, Paris and London since February 1999.
At POPs in each of the cities they serve, they run matched pairs of Cisco 12000s which transmit on international DWDM links. The Cisco 12000s function as backbone boxes and are fed by a collection of Cisco access boxes, usually 7200s or 7500s. The Ciscos transmit over DWDM between cities - essentially virtual dark fiber. They use SDH framing which is inexpensive, because the only SDH-talking devices are the Cisco line cards in the backbone routers. They talk to one another over point-to-point dark fiber and the DWDM gear that is providing the virtual dark fiber between the cities. The two line cards use SDH or SONET because that is what line monitoring equipment expects. Monitoring of SONET Add Drop Multiplexers (ADMs) allows network staff to diagnose and repair any problems at the DWDM level of their network. A discussion of peering emphasizes the importance of good connections to UUNET. GTS achieves this in part by buying transit from Sprint's ICM network.
The end of the interview offers a discussion on two different approaches to scaling Internet architecture. According to Sean Doran: Building a network which is to be used for Internet connectivity (broadly defined) while ignoring issues of locality and future projections of traffic - things that can vary really widely over a long period of time - is difficult." Doran strongly disagrees with the telco model for implementing DSL asking: "If you have to adjust your topology because of traffic issues, you will be in for a difficult time. How do you avoid under or over provisioning for five years from now with this kind of architecture?"
He adds: "What you need to do is deploy an infrastructure locally that can scale into having high speed access to every household (or business). That is you assume that every household may move several megabits per second of data onto and off of the network and that they all might be moving all their data at the very same time. This is a model that makes traditional network design people nervous. It makes me nervous too because their models simply can not scale to the necessary size."
Later in the discussion Doran adds: 'My preferred model spreads the stuff that interacts with your customers around a CLEC. Rather than having a small Cisco box in a huge stack of small Cisco boxes sitting in your telco facility with individual lines radiating out from your telco facility to individual customers of yours, I prefer the model where you radiate all your access boxes out along your telco fiber. That is to say you virtualize your telco facility along infrastructure that you are deploying into the ground on a city by city basis. The goal is to bring the edges of your network as close to the users as possible."
Doran talks of two models of very large ISP design. One is the UNNET model. The other is the Sprint model which was in the preceding paragraph. With this model used really only by Sprint GTS and Qwest, regulators would be ill advised to let Sprint's IP networks disappear inside of WorldCom. Doran admits that each design philosophy can have its strengths. He warns however that we should not allow one of he opposing philosophies to become really dominant lest it break and we loose our ability to continue to rapidly scale Internet architecture.
He continues: "In the contrasting model, the intelligence is in your network. Your network is a big mesh so, when an incoming packet arrives at your edge router, you have a virtual circuit to the appropriate router on the egress path to the packet's final destination. You do not have a hierarchy of routers. Basically you have a flat topology where every router talks to every other router. However, the model where you have a very flat network (UUNET for example) and a maximal number of virtual circuits allows you to deal with hot points. Say because I don't have an adequate amount of capacity over here I am going to restrict the amount of packets that can be blasted by the virtual circuit owned by this customer over there.
With the flat architecture there are several breakage points. One is that you run out of the ability to have some given number of virtual circuits and you have to start constructing a hierarchy anyway. Or that the architecture simply doesn't buy you what you thought it would. The breakage on our hierarchical design side of things is that people behave badly and start blasting. We will then have to start policing them and forcing them to insert traffic into the network in a sensible fashion."
by Francois Menard pp. 10-18
This article by Francois Menard covers the on going efforts in Canada to determine the conditions under which Canadian ISPs shall have access to broadband capable cable network infrastructure. Since the cable TV industry in Canada for several years has enjoyed common carrier status, the mater of network layer interconnection between what Menard refers to as the cable carriers and ISPs is subject to being decided on very different grounds than in the United States. Canadian cable carriers are under legal order by the Canadian CRTC to open their networks to ISP interconnection. Menard's article describes what he sees as efforts on the part of the Canadian cable industry to circumvent CRTC orders to unbundle access by ISPs to the TCP/IP level (layer 3) of the protocol stack.
As he discusses the evolution of the technical positions taken by the two sides, Menard clarifies the business models of cable carriers versus ISPs. He describes a number of useful insights into the difference. These insights are leading him to some important and regulatory paradigm shifting conclusions.
These are:
1. That the telco and cable business are built from top to bottom individually owned and vertically integrated and controlled networks;
2. that having dealt with such networks for more than half a century the regulatory mind set is framed by the vertical architectural structure;
3. this mind set looks at the Internet vertically rather than horizontally according to each individual layer of the protocol stack;
4. but that this mind set is now a flawed and economically hostile way of approaching what is becoming the business model of the Internet - namely service providers where each is responsible for their own networks and practice non discriminatory interconnection;
5. that ISPs now offer new extremely cost effective technology for building global stupid networks by means these horizontal inter connections;
6. that to the extent that the regulators are unable to understand that if they don't come to think both in horizontal layer 3 terms and in terms of layer 3 unbundling to facilitate layer 3 interconnects between ISPs, using network infrastructure that may or may not be owned by a third party, the Internet revolution may be short circuited by the triumph of the economic interests of the old, vertically integrated legacy networks.
Menard hopes by February 2000 to demonstrate this in clear detail in a cable carrier follow on study to his "Netheads versus Bellheads" document of mid 1999. His paper in this issue of the COOK Report is a first step in his direction.
In a very long article we summarize our knowledge of the ICANN debate. The article uncovers participants and some of the details of the secret meeting of July 30, 1999. This meeting sponsored and brokered by IBM shows that ICANN, far from being a consensus organization, is the creature of IBM's need to control the framework of e-commerce in the 21st century.
Those interested in Internet governance should pay careful attention to Larry Lessig's new book: Code: and Other Laws of Cyberspace (Basic Books, 1999) finds that he who controls the code on which cyberspace is founded will control whether freedom can exist in cyberspace. Lessig pounds home this conclusion again and again. We find it fascinating that Lessig ignores ICANN. For we note the reason for ICANN's being in such a hurry. It knows what Lessig knows about ownership and control. It must craft its architectural code on behalf of e-commerce and government before the rest of us awaken.
Lessig writes "cyberspace [is changing] as it moves from a world of relative freedom to a world of relatively perfect control'..... The first intuition of our founders was right. Structure builds substance. Guarantee the structural (a space in cyberspace for open code) and (much of) the substance will take care of itself." . . . "We are just beginning to see why the architecture of the space matters ‹ in particular why the ownership of that architecture matters."
Editor's Preface
ICANN is now "fully formed." With Network Solutions signed on as an accredited ICANN registrar and obligated to pay it nearly three million dollars in domain name taxes per year, ICANN need no longer fear bankruptcy. ICANN may now proceed forward with an Internet wide system of domain name registration under its control. It has won act one. Whether it will be able to "win" act two and enforce and expand its powers to become for its masters a global Internet regulatory agency remains to be seen.
ICANN has gotten to its current position by a complex process of lobbying in Washington and Europe. It is one that we have spent the past three years and upwards of 300 pages of the COOK Report in documenting. In this article we review the entire chain of events in order to paint as accurate a picture as possible of how a tiny clique has managed to put in place a structure that is now positioned to become a global regulatory body for the Internet.
This article also covers a July 30 secret meeting run by IBM at a Washington DC hotel. At this meeting two IBM Vice Presidents met with NSI's CEO and a Science Applications International Corp (SAIC) Vice President in the presence of senior Internet statesmen Dave Farber, Bob Kahn, Brian Reid and Scott Bradner. ICANN and NSI had spent the previous two months on a collision course over whether NSI would have to capitulate to the demands contained in ICANN's registrar accreditation agreements. These demands threatened the viability of nearly all of NSI's income stream. NSI had both reason and resources to sue ICANN with both sides having clashed acrimoniously in front of Congress less than 10 days before. It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of both ICANN and NSI was at stake.
As everyone knows, the suit did not happen and less than two months later the collision course had become a marriage as NSI signed an agreement accepting ICANN's control and assuring ICANN of the money it needed to survive. It is believed that the July 30 meeting began the events that led to the late September marriage. We note that at the most critical moment in the struggle for control of the DNS system and the future of the Internet the opponents were not ICANN and NSI. It was IBM against NSI with John Patrick VP of IBM's Internet division and Chair of the IBM-MCI led Global Internet Project backed up by Chris Caine, IBM VP of Government Programs and head of IBM's 40 person Washington lobbying office.
It certainly looks to us like the crux of what lies behind the "window dressing" is the raw power of IBM. On December 9 we received an email containing the following text:
"Gordon: The July 30 meeting was called by John Patrick, who also ran that meeting. It was attended by John Patrick, Chris Caine, Jim Rutt, Mike Daniels, Brian Reid, Bob Kahn, Dave Farber, Scott Bradner, and an ICANN representative. Cerf was not there. It was held at the Hay-Adams Hotel. My impression of the meeting was that its entire purpose was to bully NSI into signing ICANN's agreement. It was entirely Patrick's meeting. Kahn, Reid, Farber, and Bradner were there as observers. The only negotiations that took place were between John Patrick and Jim Rutt. As far as I can tell the others were invited to this meeting for the same reason that Jimmy Carter is invited to South American elections." [End of 12/9/99 email.]
We contacted some of the people named in this message. When we reached Reid, he confirmed that he was at the meeting. When we read him the paragraph above, he asserted that he did remember seeing all of the aforementioned people at the meeting. He said that "one of the IBM representatives had asked that the meeting and its contents be kept secret," but that he "was fairly jet-lagged" and "didn't remember the details of the secrecy request." He added that "there ended up being no secrecy agreement, at least nothing written." Reid described his memory of the meeting as being "a dialog between John Patrick and Jim Rutt, but [he] couldn't specifically remember any of the things they had said to each other." Jim Rutt also confirmed his attendence at the meeting. He said: "It was from my perspective a benign and positive sharing of points of view by some experienced people around the DNS management issue. I found it quite useful and constructive."
Let's identify the persons listed. Mike Daniels is Chairman of the Board of Network Solutions and SAIC Sector Vice President. John Patrick is familiar to readers of the COOK Report as the spearhead of IBM's GIP and ICANN building operation. Chris Caine is Vice President, Governmental Programs for IBM, Caine is based at IBM's K Street Washington DC Office. This is Caine's first appearance in the ICANN NSI saga. We find that appearance to be quite interesting since Caine's office with its 40 employees is responsible for IBM's lobbying and government relations programs. His appearance at this meeting appears to us to elevate the importance to IBM of ICANN's success. Jim Rutt is NSI's new president. Brian Reid, formerly the Director of Digital Equipment's Palo Alto networkng Laboratory, is a researcher in networking; as far as we can ascertain Reid has been a neutral observer of the governance wars. We describe Dave Farber throughout this article. Bob Kahn, as co-author of the TCP/IP protocol with Vint Cerf, has ties to DARPA, the telcos and the telecom industry in general. Scott Bradner is an IETF Area Director and Officer of the Internet Society (ISOC).
We are intrigued by the statement from our informant that "The only negotiations that took place were between John Patrick and Jim Rutt. As far as I can tell the others were invited to this meeting for the same reason that Jimmy Carter is invited to South American elections." Inviting men of the stature of Kahn, Farber, Reid, and Bradner as "observers," may be seen as an act of arrogance. But it may also have been an act designed to intimidate Rutt and Daniels who were relatively new to negotiations among top level Internet power brokers." The very presence of these senior statesmen would serve to further elevate the seriousness of the discussions.
The July 30, 1999 meeting apparently belonged to the two IBM Vice-Presidents. The pattern is quite familiar to veteran IBM watchers who observe that when IBM doesn't know how to cope, it reverts to its classic pattern of control. Control of the meeting, of NSI, of ICANN, and of the Internet, we would add. But the fallout of IBM's behavior goes well beyond this meeting and stops at the highest levels of the Clinton-Gore administration. The relationships extend back to Al Gore and Mike Nelson who wrote the High Performance Computing legislation that Gore backed in Gore's Senate days. We became an observer of Nelson's moves with regard to IBM and Gore nearly a decade ago and remind readers of the path that Nelson has traveled from the Senate Commerce Committee to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, to the FCC and finally to employment by IBM in its governmental relations programs.
The relationships also extend to the National Economic Council's Tom Kalil who met with Joe Sims and Esther Dyson on June 15, 1999 and promised to assist ICANN's fund-raising efforts. We note that Ira Magaziner explained to us in September 1998 that it was Kalil who (as part of the White House's preparation for the 1996 elections) asked him in 1995 to begin his research on electronic commerce and the Internet. When in March 1997 we were informed that Kalil was involved in Becky Burr's refusal to allow ARIN to be formed, we emailed Kalil and stated that we believed that he had an interest in seeing Al Gore elected President in 2000. We stated that his and Burr's policy on ARIN was in danger of breaking the Internet, told him why, and warned that if it didn't change and the ARIN issue exploded, we'd dog his footsteps with public reminders of what he had allowed to happen. He responded to this email and discussions began that turned the misguided policy around a few weeks later.
The relationships are tied to the administration's habit of promoting a public policy that hands off regulator enforcement to industry for its own Œself-regulation'with the threat that if industry doesn't self-regulate, the government will step in and do it for them. Magaziner was a long time proponent of this premise. Beckwith Burr from the consummately political law firm of Wilmer Cutler was espousing it at the Federal Trade Commission in 1995, two years before she was transferred from FTC to OMB and then to NTIA to wrest control of DNS and NSI from the National Science Foundation. It is now very clear that ICANN is not the legacy of Jon Postel. ICANN is the illegitimate off spring of IBM, and the Clinton Gore Administration - with the assistance of the Internet Society (ISOC) and Vint Cerf.
The power on the side of those behind ICANN is overwhelming. It would be far easier and safer to fold the tent, admit defeat and disappear into the night. Yet doing so would be wrong. Is one to do what is "safe" or what is "right?" It is easy to be cynical. And likely justified too. Yet it is hard to abandon the hopes and dreams of new, individually empowering and more democratic many-to-many communications. We write with the hope that while our work may be unsettling to some readers, it will cause far more readers to stop, to think and perhaps to re-assess their position.
The Introduction to this article outlines why we hope that those who have a stake in a free and open internet had better grab the attention of the press and policy makers before an IBM, Clinton - Gore administration created and backed ICANN plants itself too firmly in place.
[more than a 25,000 word SNIP]
We have poured many many hours into this article which we view as a summation of everything we have learned about ICANN. It would have been far easier to have ignored the latest events. But how can one simply walk away from gathering storm clouds? While we may have offended some readers, we hope that we will have also made them think.
The Internet forces new ways of doing thinking looking and acting in many many fields of human endeavor. Recall the insights of Clayton Christiansen, the author and originator of the insight that some technologies are so disruptive that these technologies will lead to the failure even of established leading edge companies who cannot cope with them. In these terms the Internet is probably the most disruptive of all technologies. The power and money at stake extend well beyond what we could have imagined only a year ago.
The power on the side of those behind ICANN is overwhelming. It would be far easier and safer to fold the tent, admit defeat and disappear into the night. Yet doing so would be wrong. Is one to do what is safe or what is 'right?' It is easy to be cynical. And likely justified too. Yet it is hard to abandon the hopes and dreams of new, individually empowering and more democratic many-to-many communications. We write with the hope that while our work may be unsettling to some readers, it will cause far more readers to stop, to think and perhaps to re-assess their position.
It may not be too late, to stop, to think and perhaps to re-assess one's position if more people begin to support and demand that the early dreams of the net continue to be respected. Hubris and the arrogance of power have brought down would be rulers before. ICANN displays plenty of both. We need to take a lesson from the example of Brian Reid, who is quoted in Where Wizards Stay Up Late: "When you read RFC 1, you walked away from it with a sense of, oh this is a club that I can play in too. It has rules, but it welcomes other members as long as the members are aware of those rules.'The language of the RFC was warm and welcoming. The idea was to promote cooperation, not ego." [Editor: We contend that 30 years later what stands in opposition to cooperation is raw economic, self-justifying monopoly power as evidenced in the case of modern IBM.]
"The fact that [Steve] Crocker kept his ego out of the first RFC set the style and inspired others to follow suit in the hundreds of friendly and cooperative RFCs that followed. 'It is impossible to underestimate the importance of that,'Reid asserted. 'I did not feel excluded by a little core of protocol kings. I felt included by a friendly group of people who recognized that the purpose of networking was to bring everybody in.'. . . . The RFC, a simple mechanism for distributing documentation open to anybody, had what Crocker described as a Œfirst-order effect'on the speed at which ideas were disseminated, and on spreading the networking culture."
Reid has squarely identified the standards of behavior that made the Internet so strong and so special. Behavior that is completely antithetical to the ICANN way of pigeon-holing people in committees to isolate and render them impotent. We urge our readers to sit down with Lessig's Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, which is both a prophecy and a correct analysis of what may come. The Internet must find a way to route around IBM's and the White House's ICANN.
We reprint a portion of bill Norton's October 17 Report to the NANOG list on the peering BOF held at the montreal NANOG meeting in early October. Norton appear to be developing tools to facilitate ISP peering. Through NANOG ISPs should follow the effort and assist in their development.

Stop the Anti-Women Gag Rule
The story so far
Afghan reactionary lawmakers are trying to pass a law to ensure that family members can never testify as witnesses. This is a green light for more women and girls to be abused at home, but some courageous politicians are fighting back and say our outcry could make the difference!
The proposed language of the bill would prohibit the relatives of a criminal defendant from being questioned as a witness against the accused. Should this provision become law, victims and other family members who have been witnesses to abuse will be silenced in domestic violence cases, making successful prosecutions unlikely.
"Afghanistan's lower house is proposing to protect the batterers of women and girls from criminal punishment. Legislative approval of this criminal law revision would effectively stop prosecutions of people who beat, forcibly marry, and even sell their female relatives." – Brad Adams, Asia director
Sahar's story
Sold into marriage at 12, Sahar Gul lived in a house of horrors. Her in-laws chained her in the basement, beat her with red hot iron pipes, starved her and pulled out all her fingernails when she refused to prostitute herself for them.
As a child, Sahar Gul was sold by her brother for $US 5,000 into a home of horrific abuse. When she was finally rescued, torture left her so weak that she came out of her basement prison in a wheelbarrow. Last year her tormentors received 10-year sentences, but a lower court judge just set them free.
Her attackers' sentence was reduced to a meager one year, and now they're free again! Worse still, the Lower House of Parliament has just passed the bill that would ban aggressors' family members from testifying in court. This would prevent countless children and women from ever getting justice.
How can we help?
The Upper House has beaten back anti-women legislation before and high-level officials say the Avaaz community could tip the balance and help stop the bill before it goes to a vote. But to do that, we need to act fast. Click below to sign this urgent petition now — when it reaches 1 million signers Avaaz will launch a massive local media campaign targeting key senators until the bill is dumped:
Sign the petition now and help stop this outrageous bill from coming into effect.

text: A discussion group meeting monthly on a Monday in the first half of the month at 7.45, aiming to end about 9.00. The aim is to explore interesting, problematic, and challenging ideas in Christian Tradition and Scripture, and also to expand our knowledge of these areas, with expert guidance from Trevor Williams. The idea is to complement, not compete with, the more spiritually-oriented meetings already available in the Benefice, with something with a more academic (in the best sense) emphasis. Our basis is 'You shall love the Lord your God…with all your mind…', but no prior knowledge is required, and no one will be required to contribute. Please feel free to come along and give it a try if you think you might be interested. For further details contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Visit the island of Flores where the three lakes nestled in the caldera of the Kelimutu Volcanoe change colours from red to green to blue. The endemic Komodo Dragons are found in the wild so watch out! For those eager to see Indonesia's animals, a trip to Sulawesi Toraja to meet the Borneo orang-utans is not to be missed!

Vena System Review
Vena System claims to be able to make each of its members over $200,000 every month. Let us forget for a moment the amount being considered here, and instead, consider the promise. Ask any trader on Wall Street and they are bound to tell you that getting a profit every day is impossible to predict. However, that is exactly what this website is claiming to be able to provide you.
Although the pleasant notes of Vivaldi in the background, the video presentation is a drab scene of a dangerous SCAM. So, Folks, from here on we want to show you all the underwater rocks. We will help you easily recognize the perils of suspected binary options systems.
Vena System Fake testimonials
In the video you can see paid actors only. These people are lying formoney, they have never made a single cent with this trading system.Meanwhile on the Vena's webpage you can see fake testimonials with stolen photos.
Vena System Marc Vena
The entire story behind this software is fabricated. There is no Marc Vena associated with the binary options market. You can research until you are blue in the face and you won't find out anything different. This is not good for the Vena System because the entire fabric of the product is weaved through this story.
From the following photo, you can clearly see that the web page was registered of 01.10.2017 and the trading history of Mr. Vena is from 2016. Clearly, this is big fat lie.
Hurry Up! Lose Money Fast with Vena Systems!
Among the most common and overused tricks utilized by bogus trading apps are the usage of fake timers and annoying widgets counting down indicating limited spots remaining. The practice of limited availability is favored by schemers for persuading visitors into making deposits quickly, with the idea they'll be missing out on some grand opportunity to cash big profits. In reality, they just want as many victims possible to rush into these useless trading softwares before realizing they're being scammed in the first place.
To activate your new trading account, you need to fund it with a minimum of $250 dollars. And because in this video presentation no one mentions any brokers name we cannot confirm if this brokers are legit! In these shady scams this people use not regulated brokers and when you make deposit you must consider your money lost. If you deal with unregulated brokers, you can be sure that not only you won't be able to withdraw your money when you ask for it, but you won't be able to file a complaint to a regulation authority when it happens.
Vena System Conclusion !
Binary Options Trading can be turn into very lucrative income. Unfortunately, emerging markets attract too many liars, like the creator of Vean System , our advise is to stay away from this system.
you can find good trading system like Penny Millionaire , Lexington Code , Code Fibo

|i transplanted my mums last fall. this year they're growing lovely but no flowers. what should i do?
|Chrysanthemums are short day plants, which means they need lengthening nights to trigger bud formation. They generally begin to form buds in late August and early September; the flowers will open in October, November and sometimes as late as December.
Your patience will be rewarded with lovely fall color.

Take into account our unsecured, low-interest, easy-to-process loans accessible to certified owners. As soon as all the verification is complete, they are going to switch the funds to your bank account. Interest Charges: Financing residence enhancements through a loan quite than a credit card provides you entry to rates of interest which can be usually much lower than bank cards.
Like house fairness loans, they have a fixed interest rate and are repaid over a set interval, often three to five years. Naturally it needed a home enchancment undertaking and when Jon came to me for advice on the matter I admit I was a bit baffled. Many homeowners will take into account dwelling equity loans with intentions of reworking the home, paying off tuition, or shopping for a car.
So whereas the vary of rates Upstart provides is similar to the bigger guys, for those who did well in school, you may find the rate you truly get is decrease than what the others will offer you, so it is worth attempting. It is crucial to see the rates of interest for home enchancment loans that are offered by different financial institutions. You need to use the loans for almost any objective: repay credit card debt, dwelling enchancment, or the rest as a result of the money can be deposited as money in your checking account.
Prosper : Prosper's charges differ from 5.99{243d92d8fbab5297c3bbcb399bd2a8297b8778bf0089d5880be68ebe45bc42c3} to 36.00{243d92d8fbab5297c3bbcb399bd2a8297b8778bf0089d5880be68ebe45bc42c3} on loans of as much as $35, origination payment ranges from 1.00{243d92d8fbab5297c3bbcb399bd2a8297b8778bf0089d5880be68ebe45bc42c3} to 5.00{243d92d8fbab5297c3bbcb399bd2a8297b8778bf0089d5880be68ebe45bc42c3} and also you want a credit score of at least 640 to use. Its rates vary from 25.99{243d92d8fbab5297c3bbcb399bd2a8297b8778bf0089d5880be68ebe45bc42c3} to 35.ninety nine{243d92d8fbab5297c3bbcb399bd2a8297b8778bf0089d5880be68ebe45bc42c3}, and you want a credit rating of at the least 600 to apply. I am going to focus on the positives and negatives related to home fairness loans, residence fairness traces of credit, and personal dwelling improvement loans, as well as tips to keep in mind once you're searching for funding. Spotty credit residence improvement loans are inevitably going to have increased interest rates. They can help you find residence enchancment financing for contractors in addition to one of the best residence improvement interest rates. To receive dwelling enchancment loans the loan must be used to make improvements on a bit of property owned by the borrower.
Secured loans for residence enchancment can be used for repairs, home extensions like, new conservatory, heating system, new kitchen and web site improvements. The benefits of secured house enchancment loans are many such because the mortgage is offered at decrease interest rate. A common residence improvement mortgage is a private unsecured mortgage designed for brief time period use.

A while back I wrote a post about how selling is giving way to storytelling.
The thing is, "selling at people" just isn't a good fit online. Nobody wants to be interrupted and sold at when they're looking at their tablet or smartphone. That's why tens of millions of people use adblockers.
Soo… if the traditional, hard-nosed sales approach is no longer welcome, what can marketers do?
First off, they can get serious about content marketing.
The delivery of great content, across all devices, will do about 80% of the heavy lifting when it comes to getting prospects ready to make a purchase.
Just because people don't want to be exposed to hard-hitting sales pitches doesn't mean they're not interested in reading or viewing great content related to your products or services. They are.
As for bridging that last 20%… first, use the power of story and then, by all means, include a short sales pitch.
If you've delivered great content and shared an engaging story, people won't mind at all if you respectfully reach out to close the sale.
But what if my business or my client doesn't have a story to tell?
I hear this all the time.
"We don't have any interesting stories to share."
"We don't have a compelling origin story. The origins of our business were pretty mundane."
"We don't have a 'hero's journey' story to share. Just a team of engineers moving forward step by step."
If you have a client who claims their business has no story, there are three things you can do.
First, challenge them.
Put on your "story hunter" hat and dig into their business and its origins. Think and work like an investigative reporter.
This usually means looking for "sources" within the company. Just because the marketing folks you're dealing with don't know any stories doesn't mean there aren't any to be found.
See if you can get to talk to the people who have worked there the longest. These may not even be the most senior people.
And the stories you are looking for don't have to be huge and world-changing. It could be a simple, human interest story. Like the day they delivered their product through a snowstorm and saved the day for some family, sports team or small business.
Dig deep enough and you'll always find some stories.
The second thing you can do is leverage or piggyback other people's stories.
Think about Red Bull. They sell an energy drink. Doesn't taste very good. It may or may not work as advertised. But they have created a huge and successful business.
And they did it with story
They don't really have a story of their own. So they set out to create new stories every day by sponsoring extreme sports. Their marketing is built on the back of the stories they create with their partnerships and sponsorships.
They are leveraging stories that are actually not their stories at all, but the stories of extreme athletes.
Nespresso – a maker of automatic espresso machines – does something similar by using George Clooney as their spokesperson. They are leveraging every cool role he has ever played. They are piggybacking on the success of the stories he has told as an actor.
Third, do something to seed the creation of new stories.
Dove's Real Beauty Campaign has been running for well over 10 years now. It tells stories of our perceptions of women's beauty, and has helped a generation of women redefine what it means to feel beautiful.
Nordstrom seeds new stories through "Nordy Stories". They asked their customer service people to watch out for and collect great customer stories that could the be used in their marketing.
With your own clients, or your own business, simply ask yourself how you can do something new or different. Something that will stimulate discussion and feedback. Something worth talking about and sharing. Something that might catch the media's attention.
Wrapping it up…
Stories have always been a powerful way to grab and hold people's attention, and then engage them at a deep emotional level.
The web has put stories on steroids, because the medium gives everyone a voice, and has made the telling and sharing of stories global.
And the arrival of social media and smartphones has further expanded the power of stories.
Stories are the foundation of the new selling.
Deliver great content. Tell great stories. And then, with the lightest of touches, close the sale.

|January 14
|Zodiac Sign
|Initial phrase
|Initial clothes
| Cool Shirt (GCN),
Swell Shirt (3DS)
|Favourite song
|Café K.K.
|Dōbutsu no Mori
Velma (Japanese: ピティエ Pitie) is a snooty goat villager from the Animal Crossing series, appearing in all canonical games on the Nintendo 64 and GameCube, as well as the 3DS installment, Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Velma's name and appearance is based off the Scooby-Doo character Velma Dinkley.
Velma is a pink goat. She is sometimes is mistaken for a male because she has a beard which all goats have. She wears glasses and has dark pink freckles. Her ears stick out abnormally. She has brown hair and stereotypical "nerd-glasses". She looks like Velma Dinkley of Scooby-Doo, who also has similar brown hair and glasses. Her initial clothing is the Cool Shirt in Dōbutsu no Mori, Animal Crossing and Dōbutsu no Mori e+, and the Swell Shirt in New Leaf.
In her house, Velma has many books and library-esque items laid out in an organized manor. She also owns Gyroids and plays Café K.K. in her house when she has a stereo.
Below is a brief description of the snooty personality. For more information, click here.
Velma has a snooty personality, which means she will appear arrogant and snobbish towards the player and other villagers, but will appear friendly and nice in some discussions, provided they are mature and do not insult her lifestyle. She finds appearance important, and will get angry or upset if someone criticizes her sense of style or fitness, which means a conversation between her and a villager with a jock personality may leave either one upset or angry. Her attitude towards the player changes, as she begins to warm up to them, but she will still retain some arrogance and subtle rudeness. She may not get on with lazy villagers, due to their lifestyles - lazy villagers having a strong interest in food or relaxing of which will make her uncomfortable, angry, and upset when in conversation. She will upset peppy villagers, usually by gossiping about them, and finding small things to judge them on. She will get along well with normal, cranky, and other snooty villagers. If she gets sick, she will refer to you as her "only friend."
My Animal CrossingEdit
Velma appears as a villager in the Wii U installment of the Animal Crossing series, My Animal Crossing. In the game, she is a snooty goat villager, and is drawn towards the Resort-type towns. She often talks about books and says random "Did You Know" facts that, frankly, nobody cares about.
Velma likes to read and study, preferring to spend Holidays alone in her house. She will, however, attend both the Thanksgiving dinner and New Year's party. In the fall season, Velma often hints about her favourite holiday being Thanksgiving.

Where are we storing our meats and cheeses today? Most people are using the plastic deli drawer. This is just a drawer but it doesn't provide anything special. Many refrigerators provide a temperature-controlled deli drawer. This drawer can go as low as 29 degrees for your meats and fish products. It can go as high as 42 degrees as well.
The adjustability really provides you greater flexibility in storing all sorts of food groups.

Book Description »
[Close »]
Of all the groups of wild mushrooms, none have engendered more enthusiasm and affection than the boletes. Their inherent beauty, abundance, and, for many, culinary appeal have firmly established boletes in the hearts of mushroom hunters around the world. The habitats, geographic distribution, and ecology of boletes—including the intriguing relationships they have with trees and shrubs—only add to their interest.
Boletes of Eastern North America
offers readers a comprehensive field guide, including extensive descriptions and more than 350 rich color photographs. Each species listing includes the most recent scientific name with existing synomyms; common names when applicable; and an overview that includes field impressions, similar species, and detailed information about habitat, fruiting frequency, and geographic distribution. Because boletes are one of the most sought-after wild mushrooms, the authors have also included a section with information on collecting, cooking, and preserving them. Advanced students and professional mycologists, as well as amateur mushroom hunters, will find this field guide an indispensable resource.

State schools benefit from bill
State Representative
Some of Pennsylvania's very best resources in post-secondary and higher education are in our State System of Higher Education.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHEF includes our 13 state universities, which are run by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. They include Bloomsburg State University, California State University, Cheyney State University, Clarion State University, East Stroudsburg State University, Edinboro State University, Indiana State University, Kutztown State University, Lock Haven State University, Mansfield State University, Shippensburg State University, Slippery Rock State University and West Chester State University.
These institutions provide an excellent and high quality educational experience at affordable tuition rates. Their mission transcends providing top-quality undergraduate education. Many of these institutions in the PASSHE currently offer master's-level graduate programs, and soon, may also be authorized to offer doctoral programs throughout the system.
At the present time, the only institution in the PASSHE that is authorized to offer doctoral level programs independently is the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. IUP currently offers some very well-regarded doctoral programs that are renowned in their respective academic disciplines. ko other institution in the PASSHE, other than IUP, is authorized to offer doctoral level courses, unless they do it as a joint-degree program with IUP, or through another institution that is authorized to offer such doctoral level work.
This lack of authority of institutions in the PASSHE to offer high-quality and lower-cost doctoral programs is a great drawback for the citizens of our commonwealth. This is especially true in some of the rural areas of the commonwealth where our PASSHE institutions are located. Pennsylvanians are being deprived of wider access to doctoral level degree programs. As a result, we are not properly utilizing the outstanding resources we have in the PASSHE. Although, at present, none of the other institutions in the State System of Higher Education offer doctoral programs, these institutions certainly have the resources, faculty expertise, capability and academic strength to do so.
I have co-sponsored House Bill 1343 which is a recent legislative proposal that amends the Public School Code of 1949 to allow all the institutions within the PASSHE, to offer doctoral degrees after meeting certain high standards.
House Bill 1343 will allow all PASSHE institutions to provide doctoral level instruction in areas of study leading to professional doctoral degrees, also known as Applied Doctoral degrees such as a Doctorate of Education (Ed.D.F. IUP will remain the only PASSHE institution with authority to offer a Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.F. House Bill 1343 requires that these doctoral degree programs be approved by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board prior to being offered. The proposal also requires compliance with all the criteria established by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board. Such doctoral programs must satisfy all the requirements that the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board deems necessary, including the documented need for the program, the adequacy of university resources to offer the program, evidence of cooperation with other institutions, agencies, or organizations, and the means of assessment and accreditation.
This approach taken in House Bill 1343 to expand doctoral level graduate study opportunities in Pennsylvania will create a level playing field for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and to all geographic sectors of higher education across the Commonwealth. House Bill 1343 will facilitate a return to the original intent of the 1965 statute by giving state universities the right to offer applied doctoral programs independently, and not solely through the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
House Bill 1343 will permit all the universities in the PASSHE to offer applied doctorate programs independently. This will meet the documented current and future workforce needs of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. House Bill 1343 is a means by which high quality doctoral level study can be extended across the Commonwealth.
State Rep. Thomas P. Murt serves the 152nd Legislative District, which includes the townships of Lower and Upper Moreland, as well as the boroughs of Hatboro and Bryn Athyn. The district also includes portions of Upper Dublin Township and the Philmont Heights section of Northeast Philadelphia.

The 60-megawatt Tuirial Hydro Electricity Project would be fully commissioned this month, Mizoram Power and Electricity Minister R Lalzirliana told the state Assembly today.
In a written reply to a question from P C Zoramsangliana of the ruling Congress, Lalzirliana said that the first unit was technically commissioned in August and the second unit is expected to be commissioned within this month.
He said while the original estimate for construction of the project was Rs 368.72 crore, the first revised estimate was Rs 913.63 crore and the second revised cost estimate jumped to Rs 1,329.43 crore.
The project was delayed in 2004 due to the issue of payment of compensation causing escalation in the cost of the project, he said.
He added that Mizoram would receive 12 per cent of the energy generated from the project free of cost.

There has only been one release with these crypt types included. I think
they should (at least) include the enclosed diff in order not to break

Do you ignore game changing information?
Have you ever seen leaders or projects ignore game changing information and then go on to spectacular failure because they did not accept that the market, competition or industry had changed?
Market Garden
In September 1944, Field Marshal Montgomery of the British Army was given permission from General Eisenhower to execute a battle plan known as Market Garden.
The goal of Market Garden was:
- Cut off and capture a sizable German force in Belgium and Holland
- Capture a deep water port that could be used to supply the Allied ground forces
- Place the Allied forces in position to invade Germany and the German industrial heartland
Montgomery planned to accomplish the above goals by using paratroopers to drop into Belgium and The Netherlands capturing valuable bridges so that the Allied armor and infantry troops could quickly drive into those countries and catch the Germans in a disoriented and confused state. If the plan worked, the hope was that the war in Europe would be over by Christmas of 1944.
As the final preparations were being made on Market Garden, lower level intelligence officers learned that the Germans had moved tanks and heavily armed forces around the very bridges that the paratroopers needed to capture intact in order to execute Montgomery's plan.
The critical information about the movement of the German forces as well as other game changing information was hidden and in some cases ignored all together by high-ranking officers.
Errors with Market Garden
Leaving out the soundness of the strategy, Montgomery and his staff made several critical errors including:
- Ignoring critical last-minute changes made by the enemy
- Not communicating those changes by the Germans to the leaders responsible for implementing the strategy
- Not listening to other leaders concerns about the plan
- Discounting the risk of the plan due to personal/professional reasons
- No room for error or slack to adjust or pivot should one sub component of the plan be delayed or defeated
Don't be like Monty
I remind my business-coaching clients that ambitious plans or big goals are fine and I encourage those kinds of goals. However, I don't want them to be like Montgomery in how they create their plans, manage their team leaders and deal with game changing information.
Communicate and Evaluate information
To be an effective leader you have to make sure that your team knows how to transmit game changing information to you including good and bad information. Business leaders, just as military leaders need to be able to "read their troops" watch their collective behavior coming into and out of meetings about the project. What isn't being said is just as important as what the team is saying to your face.
From the point of receiving that information, a good leader will evaluate the impact of this information to the known risks of the plan.
Final lesson
Good leaders are not solitary thinkers as Montgomery was. Good leaders will develop operational plans with their team and be willing to put personal agenda's aside. These leaders will not simply create a plan in isolation then force subordinates to execute without the information, resources and the ability to pivot as circumstances present themselves.
Have you ever created or pushed a project "a bridge too far?" Or have you been involved with business decisions where success was completely reliant on every part being executed flawlessly? If you have, please share your experience with our Get2it Community.

Pirates All-Star A.J. Burnett Returns Thursday; Scheduled to Face Cubs Next Week
A.J. Burnett's first-half performance in his return to Pittsburgh was instrumental to the Pirates' first-half success. And now, it appears as if he will be back for the stretch run.
Burnett threw a simulated game Friday at Busch Stadium and had positive returns. So much so, Burnett told MLB.com's Tom Singer: "I expect to be throwing soon for the Pirates, because I feel great."
Burnett, who went on the disabled list on July 31 because of elbow inflammation, was expected to throw a bullpen session Sunday and meet with pitching coach Ray Searage, manager Clint Hurdle and GM Neal Huntington to figure out what's next for the 38-year-old right-hander.
As it turns out, what's next is Burnett will make his return to the Pirates rotation Thursday against the Brewers.
Hurdle announces #Pirates rotation going fwd: Liriano, Happ, Burnett, Morton, Locke, Liriano thru next series. Gives Cole a rest.
— Bill West (@BWest_Trib) September 7, 2015
The return means the team will skip fellow All-Star Gerrit Cole's turn in the rotation in an attempt to limit his work load. Fitting enough, the move also positions Cole to start a potential one-game playoff.
Burnett could pitch in the team's upcoming series against the Cubs — possibly starting one of the games in the day-night doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 15.
Good news for the Pirates, but maybe not so much for opposing hitters.
For what it's worth, hitters currently on the Cubs roster are slashing .333/.427/.447/.874 in 143 plate appearances against Burnett. Starlin Castro has hit Burnett to the tune of 16 hits in 34 at-bats (.471 average with three doubles). And while Anthony Rizzo is only 6-for-25 against Burnett, two of those hits have been home runs.
The Pirates were 11-7 in Burnett's starts as he made his first All-Star team — one year removed from an 18-loss campaign with the Phillies. Burnett's turnaround in his return to Pittsburgh has been highlighted by a 7-3 record, a 2.11 ERA/2.84 FIP/3.44 xFIP and 2.9 fWAR in the first half.
Burnett struggled in his three starts out of the break, going 1-2 with a 10.13 ERA in 16 innings. Opponents slashed .432/.476/.622/1.098 (.492 BABIP) in those starts after a first half in which he limited opposing batters to a .252/.307/.327/.635 slash with a more respectable .314 BABIP.
Burnett really has nothing to lose moving forward here. He has already banked an estimated $144.2 million in his career and has already explained why his 17th big league season will probably be his last.

Gambia is now ready to go into talks with neighboring Senegal to end the eight-year border standoff between the two West African nations.
Talks on the border crisis were the core of national security talks during a cabinet meeting between Gambia's President Adama Barrow and his cabinet on Wednesday.
Gambia's ex-President Yahya Jammeh, in 2009 ramped up rhetorics, warning of 'unavoidable circumstances' sending the country's small military to annex a village on the southern border with Senegal.
Gambia's army occupied Tranquil Touba, which was Kabayorya in Senegal's Casamance region in 2009 sparking diplomatic tensions between the two nations.
Senegal's former President Abdoulaye Wade avoided military confrontation to maintain peace by declining to deploy Senegalese forces to retake the village.
Wade has held off sending troops to chase out Gambian forces in the hope Jammeh, who had kept up a barrage of hostile commentary, would see reason.
Diplomatic efforts to end the crisis in 2010 hit a roadblock, and military confrontation became evident with the coming of Senegal's President Macky Sall to power.
In 2015, Sall deployed troops to Tranquil Touba and built a highway link the border village to key cities like Jululu.
Jammeh had lashed out at Senegal over the border dispute and construction of the road in Tranquil and Bantang Nyima, insisting that Senegal unilaterally withdraw its troops.
In low-key diplomatic maneuvers that took place outside the public eye, hey agreed to a common platform for the demarcation of the border, a decision that Jammeh later ignored, forcing the situation to nearly spiral out of control.
Several villages around Senegal's borders with its neighbors, including Tranquil, are claiming not to be part of the French-speaking West African state.
Senegal is also in similar disputes with Mauritania. Villages that share borders with Gambians towns of Dimbaya and Darselameh are accusing Senegal of ignoring their plights.
People on the Senegalese side of the fence said they have no access to good education, health care and clean drinking water, which they only get from across the border in The Gambia's Foni region.
The road built by the Sall government in Tranquil Touba now divides the village into North [occuppied by Senegalese army] and South [occuppied by Gambian forces] until January.
Senegalese troops are currently in Gambia helping stabilize the security of The Gambia following Jammeh's defeat in the elections and his forceful ouster from power.
The military of the two nations are working together and had signed several agreements since Jammeh's exile, creating a pathway to finding a last solution to the border crisis.
Border disputes are not new between Senegal and The Gambia. The borders between the two countries have been closed nearly a dozen times in two decades.
The 2016 impasse followed by The Gambia's decision to slap a hundred-fold hike on fees for trucks entering its territory caps a year of souring diplomatic ties between the two neighbors, even though trade was fast growing in a rapidly rising African region.
Provocative comments by Jammeh overshadow talks with Senegal aimed at resolving a three-month border blockade that nearly forced Gambia's economy to its knees.
There were shortages of essential daily items on both sides of the frontier, triggering Guinea's Alpha Conde to intervene.
Although Jammeh said Senegal's population suffered the most, The Gambia's landmass is completely surrounded by Senegal, and reliant on its larger neighbor to import many essentials.
Gambia is repairing its diplomatic relations with Senegal, which had played a leading role in garnering military support from other West African nations to send Jammeh packing to Equatorial Guinea.

The "G" word
Andrea, the mother of three year old Max, was stressed when she called me. "He's driving me crazy," she said, "he insists that I drop everything to look something up about the Tigris River and when I tell him that he has to wait he has the most explosive temper tantrum you've ever seen. Then, when I put him in a time out, just to calm him down, he writes me a note of apology, so that was sweet, but I just can't take the irrational behavior!"
